Latest News Enhanced Extended

Introduction

Latest News Enhanced Extended is an all-in-one news/articles module presenting the latest, featured, popular, future (even pending), related or random article snippets in a consistent professional fashion. It has tons of features and is extremely flexible. It is highly configurable and expandable but remains easy to use.

Functionality

Superior in every way. The sky is the limit in my experience. Highly functional.

Ease of use

With so many options it's still easy to use. It does have a lot of things you can customize so you have to spend some time learning it. Nice

Support

This is the crème de la crème of Joomla extension support. The developer literally blew my mind with the comprehensive support provided!

Documentation

There is good documentation on this explaining the myriad of options available. Did I mention the support!? You will have no problems.

Value for money

Extremely good.

I used this to:
I needed a highly specialized module for a new client to display certain parts of an article in a module. I soon realized this was exactly what I needed. The developer helped me tweak this to absolute perfection. I could not believe how great this worked out. Brilliant!

Owner's reply:
Thank you so much for this enthusiastic review.
I certainly was glad to provide support and it really helped on improving the module's functionality. So a win-win in my opinion!

I downloaded this extension had a quick fiddle with it and was displaying the most recently updated articles in no time at all.

It really is that simple, after selecting the display configuration, embed the module inside an article using the {loadpostion} Joomla plug in.

I had an issue with the commercial licence whereby I was asked, and paid, a commercial fee to post to the forum even after having purchased the Extended edition.

I had a bit of moan about this to Olivier and he advised I should not have paid the extra commercial fee and refunded this within 12 hours.

The forum is great and well attended by the developer (Take heed some of you JEDers out there who think help is an swear word)

Owner's reply:
Thank you so much for this great review. I really do appreciate it. I take great pride in my work and the help I can provide when things don't always go as smoothly as expected. Thank you!

on my frontpage for display featured articles, as module for display related articles, as module for display news in sliding animation, as module for display calendar events (because has nice calendar icon for display date)

New versions (upgrades) are frequent, and owner of module Oliver listen to the suggestion of users..

At end, support is really fast and friendly

Go ahead Oliver..

Owner's reply:
Thank you so much for the review and for using the module so extensively! Your real life examples sure show what can be done with it. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. I do appreciate it very much!

I use this module three times for a music band site and it is working like a charme. Latest News Enhanced Extended is easy to install, to configure and the result is as expected. It's parameter and translation / caption is very helpfull while configuring it. It allows you to let your site view different just using one module in various variations.

On top of that the developer runs a forum and a great help site, is responding fast and always willing to help. Highly recommended!

Owner's reply:
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I really appreciate this.

I've purchased this module to enhance our "What's New" Module. The default options in Joomla are limited, however this module is packed with options that will allow you to create some very creative ways to display your content. It can create Blog style pages using Joomla! loadposition in an article, it can create a news module with background images, calendar tags, lots and lots of great stuff! Can't wait for the update. :)

Owner's reply:
Thank you so much for this great review and for being the first in posting one! I really appreciate it.

This plugin is meant to help clean and resolve front and back end issues when using instances of jQuery alongside the Mootools libraries.
WHAT IT DOES OUT-OF-THE BOX
calls jQuery and jQuery UI libraries from the Google CDN (with or without protocol) - but you can do it locally too,
places jQuery libraries after MooTools calls for perfect compatibility,
adds the noConflict() code alongside the jQuery library call,
strips out extra jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, including the noConflict() calls added by other modules or plugins,
lets you choose jQuery UI basic styling or custom theme.
WHAT YOU CAN TWEAK
disable MooTools libraries tentatively in the frontend,
enable or disable the plugin in specific portions of the site, from template to single page,
use reporting to get feedback on what the plugin engine has done,
add or remove scripts and stylesheets,
strip blank lines left by the modifications made to the page,
prevent some libraries to be stripped out,
modify the way the engine works by default (do not add or remove noConflict() code...),
...
Try the new jQuery Easy Profiles for Joomla! 3+ that allows multiple configurations to work seamlessly for different parts of a site. Speed up your pages and limit your server load. More information on the developer's website.

Trombisnoscope Extended is a component that shows a list of contacts in a picture-only or business card (vcard) style fashion (like a Year Book, a company's trombinoscope...). Contacts are still managed by the standard Joomla! contacts extension.
It contains the following features:
select contacts by categories, tags (Joomla 3.1+), keywords to create grid-like pages of contacts,
select themes and modify the styles to your liking,
format the name, choose a sort order,
show contact information (every single field available, including links a..e) in 2 possible ways (plain text or just icon link),
show those fields with or without labels or icons, restrict access (public, registered users...),
format addresses, link them with automatic mapping,
choose to link the contacts to open in a specific contact page (from the component or Joomla),
add pagination, alphabetic, category and tags index for menu items,
add print and search capabilities,
use a default picture if the contact has none, or show no photo at all,
crop, resize and filter the pictures (grayscale...),
use links a..e to link to Facebook, Twitter..., the icons are automatically selected or (v2+ only) use the plugin that adds social fields to the contact,
obfuscate the email addresses to hide them from spambots,
edit the contacts on the public side of a site through the user profile,
use the module to show a specific contact, the logged-in user or related contacts to the one showing in contact view,
import contacts through CSV,
make the grid responsive, paysage-style cards turn into portrait-mode when too small,
use the internationalization capabilities,
link emails directly to a contact's form,
(v2+ only) create contact views in 2 possible layouts (multi-columns or tabs),
(v2+ only) use additional fields that are available throughout the extension (gender, birthdate, map, company, department, Facebook, LinkedIn... and many more),
(v2+ only) download vcards that target personal or business profiles, more complete than the original vcard downloads proposed by Joomla and language-friendly,
(v2+ only) give a specific look to the social icons,
(v2+ only) use CSS3 hover effects on pictures and linked fields,
(v2+ only) play with more styling options,
(v2+ only) link addresses with a Google map URL,
(v2+ only) use the mobile-ready features,
(v2+ only) use the module carousel capabilities (module Trombinoscope is free to try),
and so much more...

Take jQuery fixing to the next level and use the full power of the Joomla! framework to create separate jQuery Easy configuration profiles.
Fine-tune your jQuery requirements (including jQuery UI and Mobile) and only fix issues on pages that cause problem. And now, you can even limit the plugin's processing to the head area of your site pages! That will consume less server resources and definitely improve performance.
Manage different templates (perfect to separate desktop and mobile websites), select menu items, user access or language to completely make jQuery Easy work for your website.
The jQuery Easy Profiles package contains a module and a plugin.
Enable the plugin to run jQuery Easy on your website. No changes are mades until profiles (or module instances) are created.
Set a custom template position that will be used by the modules and use the report feature to see the plugin in action. Restrict plugin access to Super Users and test your settings on your production site, without any risk. The visitors of your site won't suspect a thing.
Create any number of profiles by using the module's framework and decide where the plugin will be active. Do finer tuning by using optional 'enable' and 'disable' parameters. Set the basic and expert parameters like it is already done in jQuery Easy.

Truly Responsive Slider may be yet another slider for Joomla! but it specifically targets websites that are responsive in design.
Not only it resizes itself, taking the full potential of the well-known jQuery-built Flexslider (and more!), but it will handle different image sizes depending on the device viewports for faster page loading (using the ResponsiveImg jQuery plugin).
Choose from different slider styles and create slides from different sources (just a regular directory of images, Joomla! standard articles or K2 items).
Show sophisticated captions that can be viewed no matter the device.
Now with Joomla! 3.1+ tag support.
Try before you buy version available!
